Step-by-step explanation:
Hello
I think i can help you with this
it is possible to solve this problem using a rule of three
Step 1
find the area of the of the rectangular lawn to cover
Area= length *width
Let
Length=410 feet
Width = 65 feet
Area=410 feet *65 feet
Area = 26650 square feet
Step 2
make the rule of three
1 bag of fertilizer ⇔ 2500 square feet
x? bags of fertilizer ⇔26650 square feet
isolating x
[tex]\frac{1 bag\ of\ fertilizer\ }{2500 square feet}=\frac{x}{26650\ square\ feet} \\x=\frac{1 bag\ of\ fertilizer\ *26650\ square\ feet\ }{2500 square feet}\\x= 10.66\ bags\ of\ fertilizer\\[/tex]
0.66 bags can not be purchased, so 11 bags must be purchased
i hope it helps, have a fantastic day.
